Broody Calls to Chicks Inside the Egg

[greenfamilyfarms]

I have an experience broody BO that will cluck and call to her eggs. I think that it is so neat that she realizes that chicks come from the eggs and as a result already treats them as her babies. I can check her eggs and take one away and show it to her and she will cluck as if she is calling the chick. She's only on day 10 or so. Does anybody else have a broody that does the same thing?

Yup, I have a broody bantam cochin who will cluck to her babies as she is turning the eggs. Too funny! I just LOVE broody mommas - till they try to "get" you!

Yeah, I have one of those mean ones also. This one is actually one of my best broodies and we have an understanding. She used to cause a scene, but now she could care less what I do to her.
